The direction of induced e.m.f. can be found by
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
The direction of induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) can be found by Lenz's law.
Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) in a circuit is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that causes it. In other words, when there is a change in magnetic flux passing through a coil or a conductor, an e.m.f. is induced in the conductor in a direction that produces a magnetic field opposing the change in the original magnetic field.
This law helps to understand the direction of the induced current and the polarity of the induced voltage when a magnetic field is changing in a conductor, coil, or any closed-loop circuit. It is a fundamental principle in electromagnetic induction and is used to analyze and predict the behavior of inductors and transformers in electrical and electronic circuits.

LoginInduction happens as a result of flux change upon a conductor. This can happen as per 2 cases mainly.
Case 1. As a result of a varying magnetic flux density on a conductor.
Case 2. Due to a motion of a conductor perpendicular to an existing field, cutting the field lines.
Upon these situations the applicability of the two laws, Lenz law and Flemings' right hand rule depends.
Lenz rule can be easily applied if it is the case 1 and for case 2 Flemings' right hand rule can be applied.
